I have a finished movie project which I want to save to my computer. I need
to save as DV-AVI(NTSC) format as I plan to burn to a DVD. It starts up fine
enough but when it gets to around 31% it starts to hang. I attempted it
several times. Same result. I had no problem saving to my hard drive using a
..WMV, or high quality NTSC format.

My project is saved on a 250GB external hard drive with a USB connection. I
have 2GB of RAM, 31GB of free pc disk space, and run XP Pro.

Any suggestions to make this work? My movie run time is about 1 hour and 40
minutes.

Thanks
